3:03 am
the party breakers are. >> it looks like the same people who voted for the lois lerner investigation and what not. the makeup will be of this new committee, is going to be seven republicans and five democrats. republicans are going toç announce perhaps as early as today who is going to be on their side of the aisle. meanwhile, the democrats going to meet at 9:30 this morning to decide whether or not to have anybody out there. and as it turns out, in the last couple of days, remember on monday we were talking about how adam schiff from california, the democrat, said we shouldn't have anybody there. this is completely bogus. it's all been settled. >> a waste of time he said. >> yes. the democrats now see some utility in seeing somebody on the panel and plus if we don't have anybody there, who is going to protect hillary? >> they should have one guy there to get into the meetings to get access.
3:04 am
i guess they'll have a the inside and somebody to ask questions. >> they certainly don't want to leave hillary clinton, should she be brought in to testify defenseless, the irony being they're going to ask her why four americans were left defenseless and left to die. when you look at the americans here, there is one christen cinema from arizona. nancy pelosi seeming to back off her initial strategy to completely protest in favor of defending. >> one house democrat aide said they don't want to have a moment like whenç senator joe mccarthy was being chastised during his investigation of communist activities. they need a wingman in case one of their people winds up starting to look bad. a lot of people looking in are happy this is finally happening. a lot of people on the other side of the aisle said we figured it out already. let the chips fall where

great state of colorado, a half million in january, almost five million. you asked? >> is colorado legitimizing the pot business? the answer of course is yes. that's exactly what they are doing. they are legitimizing it. they are creating financial infrastructure for this brand-new business. as you say, the feds,ç the big banks, they can't accept all this money. >> it's federally illegal. >> it's federally illegal and the banks don't want to give the obama team an excuse to crack down on the banks by saying you're dealing in drug money there, boys, we're going to hit you hard. so they've got to come up with an alternative. and they have. >> and the thing about -- and the reason we put that graphic up a moment ago is to show you we're talking about millions and millions of dollars largely in cash. you know, there's a safety issue. i get that. but at the same time it is like what are they going to do? because they've got this carvingout in colorado, tzey've got to figure out
3:19 am
what to do with the money. >> it's all about the money. the politicians want to set up an alternative financial structure because of the tax money coming in. nearly $5 million walked into the door in pot shops in the month of, i think it was march. that doesn't include all the money that comes in from pot tourism which is pretty robust in colorado. that. >> people fly into colorado because they want to smoke marijuana recreationally and legally. there is a cottage industry organizing tourists to fly in, toke up and away you go. i think that is the correct expression, ladies and gentlemen. what colorado is doing with its alternate banking system -- and that's what they're setting up here, that is the template khr-l be used across the coqáry if recreational marijuana extends beyond colorado. in washington state in july they will need a similar alternate banking system. they will probably copy what colorado has come up. they are legitimizing it.

4:01 am
not kidding. #fridays arebetterwithfriends. >> it's time for "fox & friends" ♪ ♪ everybody dance now ♪ give me the music ♪ give me the music ♪ . >> hello,
4:02 am
with your little guy. >> so many times women are like, i don't have any time to go work out. you do them together. >> you work it in with the kid. >> there you go. that's the whole theme. what's the thing with putting them with the most ex opinionsive equipment in the building. i think anything could spill, things could come flying out. >> so it will be an exciting final two hours. >> that's right. meanwhile, also later today -- okay so yesterday, eric cantor said we need this benghazi panel because the administration has not cooperated. they've stonewalled, redacted information. this could be the only way we figure out what happened after benghazi and leading up to it. we do know that it looks like the members of the republican side, there are going to be seven. they are going to perhaps be
4:03 am
announced this later today, there will be five democrats. democrats will meet at 9:30 this morning behind closed doors to figure out whether or not they should show up. what's interesting is when they had this great big housewide vote, all the republicans voted for it and seven democrats voted for it, too. so it was indeed bipartisan. >> all these name you see here happen to be in states, in situations that are heavily republican. so i'm not saying they're insincere in their vote. i'm saying it's politically savio for them to vote for this panel. i say you take those men and women, pick five and put them on the panel because they are sincerely looking for answer when is it comes to benghazi as opposed to other people that might be there just to obstruct. >> remember the initial strategy was to boycott. we heard nancy pelosi say why are we talk being this? we've heard people suggest that this is just a waste of time when it comes to democrats and the perspective and looking at it again, 20 months later, four
4:04 am
people dead, no answers. they are now going to strategically as it seems, place their reps there in order to possibly protect hillary, which she will be called to testify. >> in fact, the democrats, given the fact this in the beginning they were saying, let's not have anybody show up, now democrats see the utility in having people on the panel. elijah cummings, waxman spoke in favor of appointing democrats and they did mention hillary would probable will he be testifying and -- probably be testifying and also said susan rice would be testifying. so they wanted -- and they talked about rosa delaro who said, i'm not so sure this is a legitimate committee, but maybe we should have one person, just have one person who has got our back. >> all right. so we'll discuss it. we'll find out today at least. this is not going to be waiting over the weekend. they'll be meeting again at 9:00 o'clock in the morning and maybe
4:05 am
put those name out and hopefully we'll got this panel going. we would like to see some of those who were on the ground that night and able to talk for the first time. if you can get them in fronts of that panel where we do not know the answers but we can ask legitimate questions on what it was like surviving that attack, that would be compelling. we have not seen that. admiral mullen didn't see that. ambassador pickering didn't see this. >> i want to hear from some white house people. it looks like the spin started there. >> perhaps it did. i think the important note is right questions and getting answers. let the decision be what it is based on truthful facts. the guy who runs veterans affairs, general shenseki, has been subpoenaed. he's got the support of the white house. john boehner said yesterday, it's a problem that is systemic and just replacing the guy at the top isn't going to fix things. what we're learning now is it's not just in phoenix where we heard about the situation where maybe 40 veterans died because they were on some made up
4:06 am
waiting list. now apparently a scheduling clerk, 40-year-old government employee is seeking whistle blowing protection. apparently they've got a situation where this looks like they're gotting to people quickly in san antonio and austin. so it is systemic. >> what happens if you're a veteran and you're supposed to get medical attention? you got 14 days to get an appointment. they've been putsing in false records and stringing out people that are in their last legs or deemed to be someone barely hanging on and essentially are on a death list. i thought it would be arizona and colorado. now it seems to have spread to texas. which makes you wonder what, could general shenseki say to keep his job next week? here with more is an arizona veteran. >> i thought at least one thing i have i can depend upon was my country to take care of me when i get older. i never knew i was going to get
4:07 am
this. cancer. i'm just like i don't want to die because of some waiting list like other men have. >> gosh, they risk their life going to battle for us and then here, hearts-researching to hear that their biggest fight is to stay alive under the system as it is in the v.a. >> it is so wrong. we're supposed to take care of these guys, yet the government is turning their backs on them and making stuff up. in the meantime, let's turn to heather nauert who we can counts on with the headlines. we start with a deadly house fire. >> that story we told but yesterday. we have an update for you in florida. now new developments in the deadly house fired at james blake's house in tampa. investigators are saying that all four family members had been shot. there was a gun that was recovered inside that home and it was actually reject sistered to the father -- registered to the father. police say they are now investigating the possibility of a murder-suicide. there is new surveillance video that we're getting in. it shows this, campbell buying
4:08 am
$600 worth of fireworks on sunday and he paid in cash. he also bought several gas cans. we'll keep you posted on the details. here is what not to do on a dating show. it's not a good idea to admit you killed your first wife. okay. this was on a turkish dating show. that 62-year-old man also confessed to murdering another lover. this time with an ax. he says he spent four years behind bars for killing his wife and then another six years behind bars for killing the girlfriend. he says he's an honest guy who is looking for a new wife. oh, boy. would you believe him? the producers apparently knew that he had killed someone when they let him on the show. this again on turkish tv show. the iron i don't here if the show is called "luck of the

draw." that's one you don't want to draw. while you were sleeping, new details about the mass kidnapping in nigeria. the government there now naming the names of more than 50 of the young girls who have escaped their kidnappers. this is considered a controversial move because the girls could now face a stigma from other groups in that area. the terror group boko haram abducted 300 girls. the girls were likely split up and sent to neighboring countries by now. here are bravest dogs you will hear. two bulldogs breaking through their enclosure when they saw giant black bear stroll to a bird feeder in their yard. look at this right there. isn't that amazing? they surround the bear and the stand-off lasts a few seconds. the bear seems to consider his options and then he runs off. way to go, bulldogs. that happened in new hampshire. >> it's like a cartoon. did that really happen? was this a machine in a bear suit -- was this a man in a bear
4:10 am
suit? >> i would like to hear from witnesses. >> thank you, heather. speaking of new hampshire -- >> bears travel in packs. >> wolves travel in packs. >> why are bears always alone. joel, do you know? >> e-mail us if you have the answer. >> do you have a couple of sleeping bear hibernating in the same cave, it gets noisy. >> if you know why bears travel alone, please let's us know. >> she was just talking about new hampshire. up in new hampshire, there is a democrat, tim organ is in the state house. it's interesting, they're considering legislation where you can't use your food stamp money for guns, foe back co, booze, lottery tickets, adult entertainment, tattoos or body piercing. this guy says wait a minute. maybe -- listen to this -- maybe you should be able to use it to buy a gun. >> the firearms ban is a blatant violation of the second
4:11 am
amendment. presumably you have the same rights to purchase guns like the rest of us for sporting or self-defense. they do have the right under the second amendment to do so. >> he actually said the inclusion of officials seemed ironic. we want to know your thoughts on this. >> food stamps are for food. >> right. i'll either get a bazooka gun or gum. you make the choice, honey. >> what happens when you runoff money for food? >> right. >> are you going to take the gun and rob a store? >> should i get something to eat oar get more ammo? >> there was the story of a woman who couldn't get dog food with her card. so raising a lot of brows. send us a post and let us know. >> let me tell you what's coming up next. we just told you that only seven democrats voted for the select committee to get answers on

4:16 am
announced today. the question, will those 186 democrats who voted against it stage a boycott or put five people up to be part of the 12-person force? let's ask one of the representatives, jerry connally. you voted against having it, but now that you have it, where do you stand? what will be your sense this morning when you meet with other democrats on whether they should participate in this? >> thanks for having me, brian. yeah. i did vote against it because i don't know that we need a select committee. we've had four committees in the house and other committees in the senate looking at benghazi since it occurred. but i think the answer to your question is frankly going to be two things. one is what happens in our caucus this morning in terms of the nature of the discussion and where we're going to head and the second is the rules of engagement. what kind of procedures are going to be in place to ensure minority rights, that we have equitable representation in the
4:17 am
deliberations and in the decision making of such a select panel. >> so you want to make sure you have enough time to ask the questions of whatever witnesses are forward, you want lead time to know who they were, access to prior to their testimony? >> those are some of them, yes. i would add to that, though, strict rules of engagement in terms of fair play. so we get to have our witnesses as well. we are consulted with and have some say over the issuance of subpoenas. i'm on the oversight and government reform committee and frankly those minority rights have been completely trampled over and if that's the experience, there is no way democrats want to repeat that with a select committee. >> cummings is push to go make democrats participate in this and he's a guy we always see next to darrell issa sometimes in a contentious way. that would indicate maybe that that's something you guys should do.
4:18 am
>> obviously we have to weigh carefully whether we're at the table or not at the table. the republicans have clearly pretty much on a party line vote. you have emphasized seven democrats, but that's pretty much a party line vote. they created a select committee in rather rushed fashion. the question is, are we better off being at the table to try to make sure it's a balanced approach and that will be determined at our caucus meeting this morning. >> we'll got an answer today and thanks so much for previewing that. let's ask you about the irs investigation. lois lerner is held in contempt. six democrats voted in favor of contempt and 26 in favor of a special council to investigate it. when she stood up and took the fifth about targeting tea party groups, you knew somebody would happen. where do you stand on this? >> you know, i think actually conservatives need to be concerned about the issue of fifth amendment rights. the fifth amendment was there not for angels, but to protect
4:19 am
all americans, innocent and guilty from self-incrimination. it's one of ten enumeratessed rights in the bill of rights. and we have to take that very, very seriously. i think case law no matter what you think of lois lerner, case law is very clear here. she did not waive her fifth amendment right. even though we'd like to get her testimony. >> even though she made those statements prior you don't feel that way. >> it's not a matter of how i feel. it's a matter of case law addressing exactly that example. >> having said that. as an american, does it bother you in 2013, 14, i don't care who is in power, that the irs is using their power perhaps to target any group? i thought this would be one time in which democrats and republicans were equally outraged. >> actually when we began this process, we were. unfortunately, the republican majority then took it off to try to make it a political partisan effort to try to damage the

president. it didn't work. the president got reelected. yeah. we don't want to see the irs -- we didn't like it when nixon used it. >> all right. congressman, always great to talk to you. thanks so much. hopefully we'll get something positive out of today's meeting. >> thank you. coming up, they helped him in the white house twice. so why are unions turning on the president today? we'll find out. plus, you just heard them join me this this segment. babies are invading our studio. how you can use your children to lose weight. ♪ ♪ get all your favorites all day, everyday. olive garden's signature favorites, just $10 including creamy fettuccine alfredo, and our classic lasagna. plus unlimited soup or salad and warm breadsticks. signature favorites, just $10 all week long, at olive garden.

family versus fraternity in the comedy "neighbors". >> welcome. >> it's weird. >> he has the upper hand! >> kevin mccarthy joins us right now from wttt in dc with this weekend's reviews. kevin, first stop, "neighbors." what do you think?
4:53 am
>> good morning to you guys. thank you for having me on. the movie itself, when i think of fraternity comedy, i think of old school or "animal house," movies that are absolute classics. this deals with a couple who have a newborn baby and a fraternity moves next door and they have an all-out battle. it's a big fight. you have seen the trailers and air bag, robert deniro impressions. the trailers, i will say, give away a lot of the jokes. i'm a big fan of raunchy comedies. i love raunchy r-rated movies. i loved "pineapple express" and others. but this particular movie, i feel like the jokes are all given away. there is all no characters to root for whatsoever. none of the characters are redoomable in any way. "super bad," i cared for some of those movies. this movie, i didn't care for anybody. some of the jokes work, but i gave it three out of five. it's matinee. i would not pay full ticket price. >> you didn't like and gave it three stars?
4:54 am
>> no, no, no. i liked some of the jokes. overall, i didn't think it was as classic as "animal house." it wasn't a classic by any means. most people were giving it really, really high ratings, but i thought it was very middle of the road. >> i've been waiting for a review on "moms night out." what do you say 'cause i'm going. >> this is a move yes that really surprised me. it really gave me a deeper appreciation for how awesome moms are. i feel like the struggle that sarah drew's character has in this movie with her character and the idea that she deals with these tough struggles of being a mom and i love the idea of how it highlights that because she realizes that not every day is going to be great. and you're dealing with three women who go out for a night out. they leave the kids home with their fathers and everything goes wrong. everything you can possibly think of goes wrong. that part i felt was a bit unrealistic at times. but overall, it was the message is about moms and how awesome moms really are. and i love that aspects of it. for me, i called my mom when i
4:55 am
got out of the movie. i wanted to tell her i loved her. it made me appreciate how awesome she was. i gave the movie a 3 1/2 out of five. i really enjoyed some of the aspects of it. again, if you can suspend your disbelief a little bit and get past the unrealistic moments, you can actually get a really good message here. >> in reading your material, i didn't realize our buddy, trace adkins, was in the movie and you loved him. >> trace adkins is the best part of the movie! he plays this character called bones and he's like head of this motorcycle gang and he's absolutely hilarious. i wanted more of him in the movie. they didn't use him as much as i wanted them to. but he is the best part. i want to say in the spirit of mother's day, happy mother's day to my mom, jill. she's watching right now. she watches every single day for "fox & friends." i love you so much and thank you for supporting my obsession with movies and thank you for letting me watch "terminator 2" when i was eight years old that. movie made me fall in love with movies. thank you. >> just because you've said that on television doesn't mean you don't have to send hear card.
4:56 am
>> i know a strategy. >> i'm sending her >> they better be big! thank you very much. have a great weekend. >> thanks. thanks lot. >> he seemed sincere. >> did he. so that's what kevin says you should waste your money on this weekend. >> waste your money on? >> i mean spend your machine on this weekend. coming up straight ahead, your e-mails have been pour not guilty all morning on some of the topics. for example, this one. can your wife nagging actually kill you? >> geraldo has a wife. and he's going to weigh in on that and benghazi and so much more you start tomorrow? tomorrow we're booked solid.

5:00 am
good morning. it's friday, may 9, 2014. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. seven democrats break ranks and approve a selects committee to get answers on benghazi and the others wants to be on it. but they aren't interested in answers. we'll tell what you they do want instead when chris wallace joins us live from washington. a veteran affected by the v.a. cover-up speaking out. >> i'm just like i don't want to die because of some waiting list like other men have. >> he's a victim and now a whistle blower says it's not just phoenix. if you're in texas, find out where the problem hospitals are there. >> welcome to the hotel sharia. the man who owns the beverly hills hotel just adopted in his native land the brutal law that says it's okay to stone people to death. now the celebrities suddenly realize that, they're beginning
5:01 am
to boycott that place. in fact, it's almost entirely empty. how they're losing millions and when does the iconic hotel step up and maybe get sold? according to all reports, this is friday, and mornings are better with friends. >> i'm terry bader from the mirage in las vegas. you're watching "fox & friends." >> you don't have enough guys impersonating turtles these days. >> right. but we have sad news about impersonators. tony the tiger, the voice of tony the tiger, he's great, but he's passed away. >> he has. >> but the quisp guy is still okay. >> we've got geraldo in the on deck circle. he's on in just a moment. but first we turn to heather. you start with benghazi. >> yeah. the house of representatives passed a resolution to create a select committee on benghazi to investigate that. all republicans voted for it. seven democrats broke with their parties to vote yes.
5:02 am
so here is the big question now will those 186 democrats who voted against it stage a boycott? democrats are meeting about an hour from now to talk about this apparently. representstive connally from virginia talked about this earlier on "fox & friends." >> the question is, are we better off being at the table to try to make sure it's a balanced approach and that will be determined at our caucus meeting this morning. >> the members of that select committee are expected to be announced later today. we'll watch that story throughout the day for you. new information is now heading to house lawmakers investigating the irs scandal of conservative groups. less than a day after the house held lois lerner in contempt, the irs agrees to turn over all e-mails and other communications as evidence. republicans are saying that her actions could be criminal. listen to this. >> we believe that she violated people's constitutional rights, their rights to due process and
5:03 am
that's actually criminal in nature and so this is very serious and we want to find ou far this goes and we're going to follow these e-mails wherever they lead us. >> republicans have been demanding the documents for months now. the irs commissioner has set it could take years to produce everything that they have. the show must go on. four days after nine performers plunged 30 feet to the ground, ringling brothers & barnum & bailey circus is open for business again. there are now eight scheduled shows through sunday. that human chandelier stunts, that will actually not be performed. seven of the injured acrobats are still hospitalized this morning. and if you're married or in a relationship, listen to this one. nagging apparently can take a toll on any relationship. some more than others. >> all i ask is that you show a little bit of appreciation, that i just get 20 minutes to relax when i come home instead of being attacked with questions and nagged the whole time!
5:04 am
>> you think i nag you? >> there is a new study out that claims nagging can actually kill you. there is researchers who say that excessive demands from loved ones can more than double the risk of death in middle age. men are apparently at higher risk. >> of course. >> because it's said they keep all that bottled up. >> we have no one to talk to. >> what about women? we got nagged, too. >> you have people to vents to. you have your neighbors and high school friends. >> you are currently nagging. thank you very much. your e-mail and tweets pouring it. marla writes, if you do what we ask you, we won't nag you, duh. >> ashley says, i don't like to nag. i prefer to be listened to the first time. how can you ignore my wishes and expect me to be happy? >> can you tell women actually picked these out? >> no kidding. louis says, i gained some weight because my wife kept nagging that she wanted to see more of
5:05 am
me. so she got more of me. that's hysterical. geraldo rivera, you've -- >> stop nagging. >> you've been in relationships. >> you might say. >> right. was nagging ever a role in the destruction of those relationships? >> you know, when you're looking for an excuse to get out of a relationship, you seize on anything and nagging is an easy one. i can honestly say, they say that you're only as happy as you're unhappiest child. you're also only as happy as your unhappiest spouse. so if she's not happy, i'm not happy. so i try make her happy. >> happy wife, happy life. >> that's right. >> happy wives, happy life. >> one more thing to talk to the doctor about. >> could i just say that i see you have a boxing segment planned. i hope it works as well as the exercise with your baby segment because that was brilliant. wasn't this for birth control? i think it worked like a charm. >> you know what's even better? when you're talking to a congressman and the babies come
5:06 am
marching in. >> i love that. >> it sounded a little like washington. >> lot of whining. >> it sounds like the white house is surrounding general shenseki who heads up the veterans affairs administration and it looks like they've got big problems. john boehner yesterday said it's systemic. we have discovered that he's been subpoenaed. we now have discovered it's not just phoenix. it's also austin and it's san antonio as well. it looks like whistle blower coming forward. it's a big problem. >> speaker boehner is right, it is systemic. i've done the expose every decade. this is the fifth decade it's happened. the v.a. has a chronic problem. it has since the post-vietnam era at least. i just caution to tread slowly when it comes to generic shenseki. shear why: -- here is why: he was a twice decorated wounded hero from vietnam. this is the real deal.
5:07 am
man stepped on a land mine, went back into the service after he lost half a foot. he was the army chief of staff in the joint chiefs, the highest ranking japanese american ever in the armed forces of the united states. he's a guy that is very, very admirable. if indeed, however, he knew or should have known that these problems existed, then the american legion might be right about demanding his resignation. i just, because of this man's resume, i just say let's go slow. let's make sure that he is to blame. obviously the story is disgusting and it's malignant and it's going to go -- >> respecting that office, of course, and you know that he's possibly tried to do. so keeping an open mind is a great point. listen to this one veteran because this is heart breaking. he says he came back and he thought the very least, he could depend on his country and he's fighting for his life because of this situation.
5:08 am
>> i thought at least, one thing i have i can depend upon was my country to take care of me when i get older. i never knew i was going to get this, cancer. i'm just like i don't want to die because of some waiting list like other men have. >> in arizona, 40 died waiting for an appointment. >> terrible. as horrifying as that is, the fact that they kept two sets of books, that they kept one official record that showed a reasonable waiting time and a real list that showed the actual waiting time, allegedly leading to some fatalities, i think that deceit might be the heart of a real congressional investigation. >> everyone talks about edward snowedden and what he should have done. now you have whistle blowers coming forward. let's show these guys coming forward, protect their identity, let's them have the freedom to come forward and let them be effective. >> agreed. the problem with the federal civil servants is they protect themselves. we did a story yesterday. one in 1,000 members of the epa
5:09 am
were fired in a single year. one out of 1,000. you're more likely to die of a heart attack than to get fired. nobody gets fired in these federal agencies. the v.a. is one of them. this is a case that cries, it seems to me, certainly the keeps of the second set of records should clearly be fired. >> all right. >> what do you think about -- shifting gears -- about the sharia law in the hotel. the hotel we're looking at says you will die being stoned if you are guilty of certain crimes. we have hollywood celebrities boycotting this hotel, beverly hills hotel. it's iconic. >> it's icon iraq, along with the bellaire owned by the same owner. the dor chester in london -- i'll tell you a quick story. when the people bought norchester in london, i swear to god this happened to me. i worked at abc at the time. walked into my suite on the 7th floor in london, there
5:10 am
were people in full desert regalia cooking a lamb. >> in a room? >> on the balcony of their own suite. they were cooking a lamb on the balcony. i thought that the snooty dorchester in london was falling on hard times. i'll cut to the bellaire where i always stayed. it's in my contract that i stay will when i go there. whoever i work for. that's all been in my contract. i don't like boycotts generally. i didn't like when the gays boycotted chick-fil-a. you may remember. if you don't want to go to a place and you don't want to patronize a place, that's well and good. but don't pressure others to follow your lead. in this case, sharia law we hate it. it's ownerous, stoning and all the rest. i understand the argument against sharia law, but if you start putsing the politics of the owner at play in terms of whether other people can patronize it, if you don't want to, that's fine.
5:11 am
don't go. but when you start saying, brian, you can't go, or i stand in fronts of you, elisabeth, when you want to go and i know all the employees of the bellaire, some of them, my son was raised at the bellaire, what happens to the employees when the hotel was empty? how long did they stay employed? there are consequences. >> that's true. and i understand you always have an interesting way on this stuff. it's fascinating. but if you believe that these women are being persecuted, if you believe a whole country is oppressing a gender or an ethnic group and you want to make a stand, that's courageous. and having ellen degeneres and jay leno come forward and say, i'm taking my business elsewhere. >> that's fine. if you don't want to get the chick-fil-a sandwich because you think he's antes gay, then don't go there. go to wendy's or some other place. that's fine. but when you stand in my way and i don't believe the politics
5:12 am
that you have, then i think it's anti-american. i don't like it. >> a protest of getting into that hotel. >> it's intimidating. political correctness is fine and you go with the flow and generally speaking, we believe as they believe in broad strokes. it's just that you have your right to take the stand that you do. just don't stand in my way. >> geraldo rivera, who as we just learned, has that in his contract, he can stay there -- in my contract, i have to sleep in my car. >> no tell motel. >> in my contract it says stay away from geraldo. coming up, the government wants to slash pay and benefits to our military. so there must not be anything tells cut, right? wrong. try the 150 bucks a gallon it spends on green jet fuel. >> then one driver wanted in the car pool -- wanted into the car pool lane so bad, he tried to pass this thing up. it's a real person. wait until you hear how this one

5:35 am
because on sunday, we're going to have an exclusive interview with trey gowdy and i think today they're going to name all the republicans. the democrats, i suspect we won't know by this weekend whether or not they're going to participate. so we have booked the head of the house democratic office and we'll talk to him, along with gowdy because the democrats say it's just a political exercise, we may boycott it. i think that's a risky move for them. on one hand i can understand it does make it look partson. on the other hand, if they go ahead, the republicans and hold these hearings and bring up hillary clinton or bring up david petraeus, they may want to have a democrat there to present questions that allow these people to principal the other side of the -- present the other side of the story. interesting choice for the democrats. we'll find out whether they made it on sunday. >> they do have a list to choose from. seven democrats who voted in favor of the select committee. maybe they should say pick from them because they're probably sincere in their vote. >> i think they were, which is

5:37 am
somebody on there, on that committee to protect hillary clinton? >> that's exactly right. that's the choice they've got to make. because let's say they bring hillary clinton up and you've just got seven republicans, they could sit there and just hammer her with questions and we all know that sometimes somebody -- this goes with both parties -- that somebody from the other party, in this case, would be the democrat -- can sit there and protect and rehabilitate and say, isn't it so, madam secretary clinton, that when you did this, you had -- and kind of lead the witness in a safer direction. so it's kind of an interesting choice that the democrats have to make as to how they want to play this. >> chris, it will be interesting 'cause you'll have an answer by the time the show comes up. there's a big meeting today for democrats. maybe by the end of the day, they not only decide if they'll participate, but if they do, name the people they want to be part of the panel. >> yeah. i think there is a possibilities they won't do it because nancy pelosi is playing this very close to the chest. there is a lot of stuff that has to be done. they have to get all of the
5:38 am
staff that is -- what's happening is they're taking all the staff of foreign affairs and intelligence and all these other oversight and they're going to put them all together in this one committee, all the thousands and thousands of documents. so the democrats have a little time to play this out. >> i have an idea to save some time. it's been over 20 months. four of our americans are dead and we haven't gotten any answers and the account abilities. how about we tell the truth? that takes a little bit of time only, right? >> that's the last resort in washington. >> yeah. >> chris wallis, we'll be watching you this sunday. before you go, do you need to apologize to anybody else? >> no. i think that's it. and brian, i want to say that as far as i'm concerned, you are brian morning talk television. like johnny football, you're morning show television. >> thank you very much. what a nice thing to say. >> i still would pick you with a 22nd pick, i'm sorry. >> now that you made up with me. just one person to make up with and you'll have a good weekend. >> we'll see. you don't know mrs. sunday. >> she holds a grudge.
